A MAN ARRESTED in connection with a stabbing incident at a supermarket in Co Kildare is due to appear in court later today.
At around 5.30pm yesterday, a man in his 40s entered a supermarket in the Kildare town area.
He was approached by a male security guard after he was seen attempting to steal an item, according to gardaí.
The man then produced a knife and stabbed the security guard before fleeing the scene in the direction of the Dublin Road.
The injured man, aged in his 30s, received non-life-threatening injuries and was treated at the scene.
Following enquiries, gardaí observed a man matching the suspect’s description walking on the Dublin Road a short time later.
“After approaching the suspect, the male produced two knives and attempted to assault the garda members. The man was disarmed and subsequently arrested,” a garda spokesperson said.
One garda was injured during the arrest but did not require hospital treatment.
The man is due to appear before Kildare District Court this afternoon.
